Der Einsatz von Korpora ist in den „Digital Humanities“ unverzichtbar. Um valide und aussagekräftige Erkenntnisse daraus zu gewinnen, müssen Forscherinnen und Forscher grundsätzlich mit der Erstellung, Kodierung und Analyse elektronischer Korpora vertraut sein. Vorliegender Band zeigt die Breite an korpusbasierter und korpusgeleiteter Forschung in Österreich: Mit der Auswahl dieser Beiträge eröffnen die Herausgeber ein weites Feld vielgestaltiger Ansätze, die methodische Überlegungen zur...

This volume unites six contributions on morphonotactics of consonant clusters and its difference to phonotactics (in a narrow sense). Morphonotactics comprises that part of phonotactics (in the large sense) which is due to interaction with morphology. It deals prototypically with clusters which are due to morphological concatenation as in the word-final consonant cluster in Ger. (er/sie) mach-t '(he/she) make-s', which is morphonotactic vs. its phonotactic homophonous equivalent Macht 'power'....

Der Band zur „Phonetik in und über Österreich“ vereint und vernetzt erstmals in- und ausländische ForscherInnen, die sich mit phonetischen Themen zur Sprachvariation verschiedener österreichischer Varietäten beschäftigen. Er umfasst artikulatorische, akustisch-phonetische und auditiv-phonetische Ansätze und setzt sich in gleicher Weise mit der Standardaussprache in Österreich und mit österreichischen Dialekten auseinander. Der Band beginnt mit einer kurzen Darstellung der Geschichte der...

The aim of this book is to honor the multidisciplinary work of Doz. Dr. Sylvia Moosmüller† in the field of acoustic phonetics. The essays in this volume range from sociophonetics, language diagnostics, dialectology, to language technology. They thus exemplify the breadth of acoustic phonetics, which has been shaped by influences from the humanities and technical sciences since its beginnings. In the first article of the volume, Barbara Soukup gives an overview of empirical research on language...

Until now, word formation has remained a neglected area in research on children’s acquisition of the German language, probably due to the fact that gathering this type of grammatical data from children is particularly difficult. This volume is, in fact, the first comprehensive study that has been done on word formation in the acquisition of German. By documenting a German-speaking child from birth until entering school, the volume focuses on discovering word formation patterns and their order...

The present study is the very first to give a description of the acquisition of Lithuanian noun morphology. The aim of this investigation is to describe when and how the particular grammatical categories of the noun emerge in the speech of a Lithuanian child. It also aims at providing an interpretation of ”errors“ (i.e., a linguistic behaviour which does not match the model of adult language) and at proposing reasons why such errors occur. In addition, the results obtained by the analysis are...

Researchers from Italy, Austria and Poland present their results of psycholinguistics, neurolinguistic (aphasiological) and grammatical research on morphology (word formation and inflection) and its interaction with syntax and phonology in Italian, German, English and Dutch.
